Coffee Talk Name that player!
During Cliff's baseball career he has pitched, caught, and played first in addition to patrolling the outfield. He batted .247 in 108 games in 1950. Had 88 hits which included 12 homers. Drove in 61 runs. Began with Flint of the Michigan State League in 1940. On Cleveland roster, 1944-45, but spent the time in service. Divided 1946-47 among 3 minor league clubs. Joined Yankees in 1948.
Gil has a most unorthodox batting stance, holding his bat as if it were too heavy for him. It works, though, because he's a dangerous hitter. He was the Rookie of the Year in 1951. Gil hit a grand slam homer at the Polo Grounds in the World Series against the Giants that year, becoming the first rookie ever to perform the feat, and only the third player in baseball to do it during a Series. He is a good fielder, too.
Bill Davis: Bill looks like he's ready for the big leagues. He batted .311 and smacked 33 HRS at Portland in 1965. Tom Kelly: Tom was one of Portland's leading pitchers last year. The fire- balling righthander won 16 and posted a 2.38 ERA.
